26 February 2002

Dear Colleague,

many of us who came to work in the sciences or similar areas did so because we wanted to explore the unknown and gain more knowledge and ultimately make this world a better place. It is undoubtedly true that modern science has brought immense benefits to humanity but also encountered many unsolved questions and problems including environmental pollution. 

Perhaps it is now time for a different approach:  Falun Dafa takes a holistic view of life and the universe. It builds on the insights of modern science and combines them with the insights from ancient Chinese science and culture. We, scientists who understand Falun Dafa, invite you to participate in the First World Congress of Future Science and Culture that will be held at Cambridge on March 9th and 10th of 2002. This congress will see state of the art research in this field and serve as a forum for discussing how these new ideas could exert a profound influence on the future science and culture of humankind.

Renowned specialists and professors in diverse academic disciplines from many different parts of the world will be participating.  A schedule for March 9th is attached. On March 10 we will be holding an informal discussion session at which participants at the conference can raise issues with the speakers. 

We do hope that you will be able to find the time to attend. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Guihua Li
